Modelled on the traditional 'nalukettu' typology of Kerala architecture, this Kottayam villa by Studio 3twentyone preserves the vernacular character of the original structure, and reflects a way of life that speaks of artistry, simplicity, and a closeness to nature.
After diving deep into the details of orchestrating slow living in private spaces, both urban and vernacular, we turn to 3 designers - Arredatore Design Studio, Terra Firma Architects and Studio AR13 - who craft quiet corners in public, commercial settings.
Traditional materials meet modern living and the design blends with geography, all while spotlighting a stunning use of rammed earth construction in this collaboration between Aayam Architects and Hunnarshala Foundation.
